Hah...this was the first thing that came to mind. Love it. also Joy Luck Club has some very heart wrenching scenes. |
Then how about "Schindler's List?" Or "The Diary of Anne Frank?" Anything based on reality about the Holocaust. |
| How has no one mentioned The Notebook or Toy Story 3? Both leave me a blubbering idiot. Fail-safe crying mechanisms. |

I remember as a kid bawling for days after watching Old Yeller. I wonder if it still holds up as a sad movie now that I'm adult.
I cried like a baby when I watched "The Champ". I think there are sad movies and then just all around depressing movies. I hate depressing ones (like No Country for Old Men) but I do love a good cry like Terms of Endearment. |

I can't watch Steel Magnolias anymore because it has a direct relation to my life - hits too close. Used to be my fail-safe good cry.
I really liked "About Time" - got it from the Redbox this week. Didn't make me cry, just tear up, but can see how it would for some people. |

Philadelphia!
The last scene, with the Neil Young song in the background, and the friends and family gathered....man. |
More like a laugh. I suggest "The Way We Were" |
Up in the Air? Interesting. I don't think of that as a tearjerker. |
They used to show us Brian's Song every year in middle school. I have no idea why. We'd all be bawling messes by the end. I haven't watched it since. |
|
omg brian's song and love story should be listed in the definitions of "tearjerker."
my girl, mask and beaches used to make me cry back in middle/high school. |

Stepmom
Terms of Endearment The Piano Leaving Las Vegas Pleasantville always makes me cry, but more in a happy-release way, instead of a just plain sad way. |
| Revolutionary Road |
I agree. I stopped it after 25 minutes. |
